Xiao He was originally from Pei County at the end of Qin Dynasty. When he was young, he was a hero in Peixian County, and was in charge of some affairs in the county. He is usually studious and alert, and has studied the laws and regulations of past dynasties. He is easy-going, knowledgeable and has made many good friends. Among them, Liu Bang, the curator of Surabaya Pavilion, Cao Can, the scribe, Xia Houying, the executioner, and Zhou Bo, the trumpeter (the father of the famous Zhou Yafu) became close friends because of their similar age and the same personality. Especially for Liu Bang, feelings are even more unusual. He saw Liu Bang's majestic posture, extraordinary personality and distinctive speech. He is a very expensive person, so he worships him more and uses his power to protect him secretly many times. In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Guangwu rose up in osawa Township and raised the anti-Qin banner. The national heroes gathered in response, and the world was in chaos. At this point, Xiao He is still doing meritorious deeds in Pei County. He often met with Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others, paid close attention to the development of the situation, and kept in secret contact with Liu Bang in Mangdang Mountain. Under the deterrent of Chen Sheng and the uprising, many local officials also felt that the tyranny of Qin could not last long, so they also wanted to resist the imperial court, join the rebel army and save themselves. Pei County, where Xiao He is located, is close to qi zhou. The magistrate of Pei County is afraid of losing his head when he sees flames everywhere. Therefore, I called Xiao He, Cao Can and others to discuss the problem of secret trading. Xiao He suggested, "You are an official of the Qin Dynasty. People in Pei county are afraid to hear your words. If they want to do great things, they must bring back the escaped hero. In this way, Pei County can be as safe as Mount Tai. " Hearing this, the magistrate felt reasonable. Xiao He recommended Liu Bang, asked the county magistrate to forgive sins and hired him. The magistrate felt a little embarrassed at first, but on second thought, the world was in chaos. Although Liu Bang is guilty, as long as he is really willing to help me, he is the right person. Therefore, the county magistrate sent Liu Bang's wife and sister Fan Kuai to Mangdang Mountain to find Liu Bang, and * * * joined the uprising. Liu bang readily agreed and immediately led the people to Pei County. Unexpectedly, when the magistrate saw that Liu Bang was outnumbered, he was worried that he could not manipulate the team and reneged. He drove Liu Bang out of the city, arrested Xiao He and others, and put him in prison. When the enemies of Liu Bang and Enemy at the Gates saw the gates closed, they knew that the city had changed. So he ordered the siege of the city and prepared to attack the city. At this moment, Xiao He and Cao Can fled to Liu Bang, who was overjoyed. After the three men discussed it, Liu Bang wrote a letter on the silk to tell the elders in Pei County that he had shot the people in the city with an arrow. The book said: "The people in the world have suffered from the tyranny of Qin for a long time, and now the brothers are guarding the city for the county magistrate. The princes of the world have risen together and are about to break Peixian County. If the people in Peicheng now rise up to kill the county magistrate and respond to the governors, their families will be preserved. Otherwise, both father and son will be killed for nothing. " After reading Liu Bang's letter, the people of Peixian gathered to attack the county government, kill the county magistrate and open the city gate to meet Liu Bang. After Liu Bang attacked Peixian County, he called the elders of Peicheng to discuss business plans. Everyone elected Liu Bang as the county magistrate, supporting Qin's self-reliance. Liu Bang refused: "Now the world is in turmoil, and princes rise together. Pei Ling should choose the most prestigious person in the county. I don't love myself. Because I am virtuous, thin and fresh, and I have made small mistakes myself. If I miss the elders in the city, I will die for it. I'd better change my talents quickly. " Everyone saw that Liu Bang was more modest and convinced. So they insisted on appointing Liu Bang as Pei Ling. Liu bang is still repeatedly shirking, and Xiao's persuasion is useless. Helpless, the people chose the nine most prestigious people in the county, together with Liu Bang's 65,438 +00 people, and wrote the names of 65,438 +00 people on paper, telling heaven and earth who was chosen and who was the county magistrate of Peixian County, and they could not refuse. When Xiao He saw this, he suddenly had a plan. He quickly said to everyone: "This method is very good, depending on the fairest day. This little effort must be exhausted. " Everyone agreed and said, "Xiao Gongcao has worked in the county for many years and is meticulous in his work. This matter should be handled by Mr. Xiao. " After everything was ready, Xiao He turned to the crowd and said, "Liu Bang is the favorite of the villagers. I think he should be invited to take this position to show his solemnity." Everyone cheered in unison. After Liu Bang wanted to salute the sky, he smoked a lot and unfolded it in public. It happened that his name was written on it. He glanced at Xiao He and wanted to refuse. Xiao He said, busy step forward, grabbed the rest of the paper on the plate, chewed in the population, and then loudly say; "providence, what else to say." Hearing this, the crowd cheered. Liu bang had no choice but to agree. So, they held a ceremony in the lobby of the county government, pledging to start an uprising, and called Liu Bang "Pei Gong" according to the old system of Chu State. Afterwards, Liu Bangcai knew that the original 10 paper labels written by Xiao He were all Liu Bangcai's names, and only then did he know that Xiao He really supported himself and was very grateful. From then on, Xiao He followed Liu Bang's expedition to the north and made great achievements. [Edit this paragraph] 2. Foresight and Preservation of Ancient Books In September of the second year of Qin Ershi (208 BC), Xiang Liang's uncle killed the seal keeper in Huiji County and raised the banner of righteousness. Soon, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were gathered, and Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Chu 12, was made king, and they met Liu Bang and his men in Xuecheng. The generals agreed that Xiang Yu would go north to save Zhao, relieve the siege of Julu, and then attack Qin from the north road west, while Liu Bang would tackle the problem from the south road west. After the two teams defeated Qin Jun who entered Xianyang first, Qin Dou was the king of Guanzhong. Liu Bang led the army to March forward, relying on the planning of Sean and others, avoiding the real and avoiding the imaginary, suppressing caress and killing all the way to Guanzhong. Xiao He, as Chengdu, is in charge of local affairs and supervises the military logistics supply. In 206 BC 10, Liu Bang led an army to Xianyang City. Zi Ying, the king of Qin, designed to kill the traitor Zhao Gao, gave him a decree and surrendered to Liu Bang. As a result, the insurgents marched straight into Xianyang city. When the soldiers saw the magnificent palaces and bustling streets in Qin Dou, they immediately got carried away and plundered gold and silver. Even Pei Gong couldn't help it. While he was free, he ran to Qin Gong to look in all directions. He saw gorgeous palaces, strange furniture, piles of gold and silver jewelry, hunting dogs and horses, exotic toys, and groups of beautiful women. He was dazzled, flattered, and even lusted after Qin Gong's wealth and could not bear to leave. He carried a beautiful woman, swept into Hu Hai's bedroom, lay on the dragon bed, and entered the gentle township. Suddenly, the general Fan Kuai broke into the house and said loudly, "Does Pei Gong want to win the world or be a rich man? These luxuries are the bane of Qin's death. Don't be obsessed with this! " At the same time, people came to state their own interests, and Liu Bang's death made since the enlightenment immediately order the soldiers to seal up the treasures in the palace and then lead all the soldiers back to Pakistan. Only Xiao He, after entering Xianyang, is not greedy for wealth and beauty. However, he rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin State, sent soldiers to quickly surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Then, let the faithful and reliable people check the books and files about the national household registration, topography, laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty one by one, register them by classification, and collect them all for future reference. Because, according to the code system of the Qin dynasty, the prime minister assisted the son of heaven in handling state affairs; The censor supervised the censor of each county externally and accepted the advice of the minister internally. Except for military power, the prime minister and the censor are in charge of almost all state affairs. Xiao He has been an official for many years, and of course he knows this. The whole army admires this. Liu Bang said with shame, "Xiao He is really an extraordinary talent. I don't want to give him a promotion. " Xiao He's collection of these books and the files of laws and regulations in the Qin Dynasty enabled Liu Bang to know the customs, the number of registered permanent residence, the strong and weak situation, customs and people's feelings of the Qin Dynasty like the back of his hand. It has found a reliable basis for formulating correct principles, policies and regulations and played a great role in the establishment and consolidation of the Western Han regime in the future. This also serves to show Xiao He's foresight. [Edit this paragraph] 3. People with discerning eyes strongly recommend Han Bùi Tín and Liu Bang to take the lead in attacking Xianyang. Soon after, Xiang Yu also led the army through, and in February of the same year, he claimed to be the overlord of Western Chu, occupying the land of 9 counties east of Liangchu and making Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) its capital. He broke the original agreement and changed Liu Bang to Hanwang, governing remote places such as Ba, Shu and Hanzhong, with Nanzheng as its capital. In order to stop Liu Bang's eastward advance, Xiang Yu divided the central region into three parts and distributed them to three generals of the Qin Dynasty-Zhang Han, Zhang Han, Dong Ming, Zhai Wang, and Sima Xin, the King of Sai. Liu Bang saw Xiang Yu's sinister intentions, suppressed his anger and wanted to fight to the death with Xiang Yu. However, he is weak and difficult to win. So we have to take the advice of Xiao He and others, keep going to Shu, take a truce to raise scholars, recruit talents, and compete with Xiang Yu. In April, various governors led the troops back to the fief. According to Sean's plan, Liu Bang stopped it and people didn't understand it. They continued on their way and hurried to Bashu. Along the way, many soldiers of other governors volunteered to join Liu Bang's army. It was at this time that Han Xin escaped from Chuying and defected to Liu Bang. Han Xin was originally a subordinate of Xiang Yu. He is brave and resourceful, and he is a strategist in A Chinese Odyssey. However, it was not reused under Xiang Yu, so he voted for Liu Bang. At first, Liu Bang asked him to be a hay sergeant, but Han Xin was disappointed. By chance, Xiao He met Han Xin. In the process of contact, Prime Minister Xiao found that Han Xin was a rare talent with extraordinary courage and profound knowledge, so he recommended it to Liu Bang many times, but it didn't attract Liu Bang's attention. More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye. The officers and men of the Han army are unwilling to stay in Shu for a long time. They miss their hometown all day and talk about returning to the East. More and more people are deserting. One day, Han Xin, who had been in Hanying for a long time, was still not reused, and left Hanying in a rage. Xiao He learned that, immediately put down the pending emergency business, personally rode after Han Xin, and didn't even say hello to Liu Bang. Liu bang was anxious about the increasing number of deserters in the army. Suddenly an army came to report, "Prime Minister Xiao Ye has escaped." Liu Bang was surprised and said, "This is amazing! I was just about to discuss military affairs with him, and he also escaped! " Now send someone to find Xiao He. There was no sign of Xiao He for two consecutive days, and Liu Bang was on pins and needles. Besides, Xiao He took pains to chase after Han Xin, asking all the way and chasing all the way until it was dark before catching up with Han Xin. I was about to dismount and have a rest when I saw a man wandering by the river with a horse in the distance. Xiao He immediately perked up, galloped and shouted, "General Han! General Han! " He rode his horse to the river, got off the horse panting, and said angrily, "General Han, we finally hit it off and can be friends. Why didn't you leave without saying anything? " Han Xin remained quietly. Xiao He said a lot to persuade him to go back. At that time, Teng Gong Xia Houying also arrived on horseback; Two people desperately begged each other to return to Han Xin. They said, "If the king doesn't listen to our advice, then the three of us will go together, ok?" Han Xin had to follow them back. On the third day, the three talents returned to Nanzheng. Xiao He went to see Liu Bang. When Liu Bang met Xiao He, he was surprised and angry, and said, "Why did you run away?" Xiao He said, "I dare not run. I'll go after the escaped man. " Liu Bang asked him, "Who are you chasing?" Xiao He replied, "Han Xin." After listening to this, Liu Bang said disapprovingly, "There are more than a dozen generals who have escaped. I have never heard of the person you are chasing. Why do you insist on chasing Han Xin? This is obviously lying to me! " Xiao He said: "Those generals are easy to get, but Han Xin is one of the best outstanding talents today. If he runs away, there will never be another one. If the king only wants to be the king of Hanzhong, he can forget it without Han Xin; To prepare farmland, Han Xin must be used. What are you going to do? " Liu Bang said, "Of course I'm going to type it. How can I be trapped here? " Xiao He said: "If the King decides to leave Hanzhong and can reuse Han Xin, he will naturally stay; If you don't reuse him, he will leave eventually. " "So," said Liu Bang with determination, "how about making him a general according to the Prime Minister's words?" Xiao He said, "Call him the general, he will still go." "How about making him a general?" Xiao He said, "Very good." At that time, Liu Bang asked Xiao He to call Han Xin and immediately made him a general. Xiao He bluntly said, "Your Majesty is too careless about manners at ordinary times. It's a big deal to worship the general, and it's not like children are joking to ask him to come. If the king really wants to worship Han Xin as a general, he must first order people to set up a platform for worship, choose a good day, bathe and change clothes, fast himself, and then hold a ceremony to worship the general. In this way, all soldiers can obey the general's command, just like the king's command. " Liu Bang said, "Ok, I will listen to you. Please do this. " This is the origin of the historical story "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon". A few days later, Xiao He ordered people to build an altar. Hanwang Liu Bang chose an auspicious day, led the civil and military officials, came to the altar and slowly climbed the stairs. I saw a banner hanging in front of the altar, fluttering in the wind, surrounded by spears, and there was silence. A red sun altar is really a flag and a staff. Prime Minister Xiao He presented Yin Fufu axe to Hanwang Liu Bang. The next class of generals with golden helmets and armor are looking forward to it. I don't know whose big gold seal this is. I saw Xiao He announce the king's order on his behalf and shouted, "Please ask the general to go to the altar to salute!" " Suddenly a man flashed out in front of him, walking leisurely towards the altar. When you look intently, it turns out to be Han Xin, and suddenly there is an uproar. It's no wonder that a little official who was unknown in the army was suddenly worshipped as a general, which made people talk about it. Everyone saw Hanwang Liu Bang; Xiao He, the Prime Minister, was so respectful that he became more and more puzzled. Later, Han Xin didn't live up to the good intentions of Liu Bang and Xiao He. In the Chu-Han War, Han Xin led the Han army through Chencang, fought Xingyang, defeated Wei, collected Yan and cut Qi, and Lien Chan won in a row. He ambushed on all sides under the cover, annihilated Xiang Yu's army in one fell swoop, and settled the world for Liu Bang. Obviously, in the Chu-Han War, Han Xin's full play and application of military talents, and even Hanwang and Liu Bang finally won the world, could not be separated from Xiao He's insight and dedication in recommending talents to a certain extent.
